So if you want to meet the key players in the manufacturing industry then Farnborough FIVE is the place to be in February 2015! Good strategic location and easy motorway access are essential ingredients for attracting busy quality buyers and engineers. Taking place in Farnborough the show is centrally located within easy reach of the UK’s most buoyant manufacturing sectors and is well served by motorway links.

All within an hours travel… Aerospace & Defence, Marine, Medical, Autosport and Electronics, are just some of the key manufacturing sectors with their largest UK presence in the region. Targeted and researched in the show promotional campaign, key decision makers and visitors from these developing sectors constitute a substantial percentage of the event’s audience. The South East has a highly developed aerospace and defence sector, 22% of the 3,400 UK companies in the sector operate there in a total UK market worth £20 billion. The top ten US aerospace & defence companies are also based in the South East as is the UK’s largest space exploration company. BAE Systems headquarters is situated on the adjacent Farnborough Aerospace Centre along with Lockheed Martin and other market leaders, all are just 2 minutes walk from the show. The South East comprising Surrey, Hants, E & W Sussex, Oxon, Berks, Bucks and Kent employs 37% of the 24,000 employed in the medical devices sector in the UK. In the UK Leisure, super yacht and small commercial marine industry (a £3.16 billion revenue market in 08/09), £1 billion or 32% of this revenue was generated by boat, equipment and engine/systems manufacturers in the Portsmouth/Southampton region. (50 miles from Farnborough down the M3). Many major autosport companies and their R&D supply chain partners are based in the home counties with visitors to the show from McLaren being the most notable from just 10 miles away. Composites and New Materials are a dynamic and rapidly developing market with key applications in many of the show’s established core visitor sectors. As such a new feature has been developed within the show giving even greater emphasis to this discipline… and not without reason. In 2008 the leading end use of Carbon based fibre composites in the UK was Aerospace/Defence 770 tons, Wind Energy 700 tons, Automotive 250 tons, Marine 160 tons. The total number of people employed in UK in the carbon fibre composites sector is just under 18,000 across 150 employers, their job functions include manufacture, design, R&D, engineering, procurement and assembly. The South East is home to 29% or 44 of these companies (higher than any other region).

Support resources

What's the difference between 'Quick Quote' and 'Initiate an RFQ'? Quick Quote is great for when you have an urgent requirement that you want a quote for. If you're starting from a company profile or product page on Applegate, the request will just go to this company. If you click the button on a general service page, Applegate's Support Team will suggest up to 10 companies to respond to your request.

'Initiate an RFQ' allows you raise a more structured quotation request that requires a more detailed response from the supplier. You can choose up to 10 suppliers from your favourites to receive the request and, again, you'll also have the opportunity to ask Applegate's Support Team to suggest suppliers that fit well with your requirement.

What's the procedure if I 'Allow Applegate to suggest' suppliers for my RFQ?As soon as the quotation request is saved to our database, a member of Applegate's seven-strong Support Team will be tasked to analyse the requirement and identify the required number of suitable suppliers from the thousands of companies on the Applegate Supplier Network.

We aim to complete each sourcing assignment with one working day and, when complete, the system will email suggested suppliers and alert you that your invitation list has been updated.

The maximum number of suppliers that will ever be invited to respond to an RFQ is 12.

As with all Buyer Tools provisions, this service is completely free of charge.
